Joshua 8
1 The Lord said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid or downhearted! Take all the fighting men with you and attack Ai, for I'm handing over to you the king of Ai, his people, his town, and his land.
Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Dia dadi gagui dunu huluane oule asili, A:iai diasuga heda: ma. Mae da: i dioma amola mae beda: ma. Na da fidimuba: le, di da A: iai hina bagade hasalimu. Di da ea dunu fi, ea moilai bai bagade amola ea soge huluane lamu.
2 You will do to Ai and its king what you did to Jericho and its king. However, this time you may keep for yourselves the plunder and the livestock. Set up an ambush behind the town.”
Dilia da Yeligou amola Yeligou hina bagadema hamoi amo defele A: iai amola ea hina bagadema defele hamoma. Be wali, liligi amola ohe fi amo ganodini diala amo dilisu lamu. Be ilia fofogadigima: ne, ilia fa: no bega: doagala: musa: masa.
3 So Joshua and all the people got ready to attack Ai. He chose thirty thousand of his best fighting men and sent them out at night.
Amaiba: le, Yosiua amola ea dadi gagui dunu da A: iai diasu doagala: musa: momogi. E da ea dadi gagui dunu amo 30,000 ilegele, gasi ganodini gadili asunasi.
4 He ordered them, “You lie in ambush behind the town, not far away. All of you need to be ready.
E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia A: iai diasu na: iyado bega: fonobahadi gadenenewane wamoaligima. Ilima doagala: musa: momagema.
5 When I and the rest of the men with me approach the town, the defenders will run out to attack us just like before, and we'll run away from them.
Na amola na dunu da moilai bai bagadega doagala: musa: misunu. A: iai dunu da ninima gegemusa: masea, ninia da musa: hamoi defele ogogole sinidigili iliba: le hobeamu.
6 They'll chase after us as we draw them away from the town, because they'll say to each other, ‘They're running away from us just like before.’
Ilia da ninima fa: no bobogemu amola ninia da ili moilai bai bagade fisima: ne bisili hobeamu. Ninia da musa: hamoi defele ilima hobealala, amo ilia da dawa: mu.
7 While we're running away from them, you will get up from your ambush positions and take the town for the Lord God will hand it over to you.
Amasea, dilia da dilia wamoaligi sogebi fisili, moilai bai bagadega doagala: le lamu. Hina Gode da amo dilima imunu.
8 Once you've captured the town, set it on fire, as the Lord has instructed. Now follow your orders.”
Dilia moilai bai bagade huluane lai dagosea, amo Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i defele, laluga gobesima. Na da dilima sia: i dagoi.”
9 Joshua sent them out, and they went to lie in ambush between Bethel and the west side of Ai. But that night Joshua stayed with the people in the camp.
Amalalu, Yosiua da amo dunu gadili asunasili, ilia da ilia wamoaligi sogebiga asili, ouesalu. Amo sogebi da A: iai amoga eso dabe la: idi A: iai amola Bedele amoga dogoa dialu. Yosiua da amo gasia abula diasu gilisisuga esalu.
10 Early the next morning Joshua got up early and gathered the people and went up to attack Ai, accompanied by the elders of Israel.
Hahabedafa, Yosiua da wa: legadole, ea dadi gagui dunu gilisi. Amalalu, e amola Isala: ili ouligisu dunu da dadi gagui dunu bisili, A:iai moilai bai bagadega oule asi.
11 All the fighting men who were with him approached the front of the town, and camped there on the north side, with a valley between them and Ai.
Dadi gagui dunu da A: iai moilai bai bagade logo holei bagade amoga doaga: musa: asili, ilia da gano la: idi amoga ha wa: i fisu gagui. Ilia da agologa esalu amola A: iai da agolo eno amoga dialu. Dogoa da fago soge ba: i.
12 He took about five thousand men and had them lie in ambush between Bethel and Ai, to the west of the town.
Yosiua da5000 dunu agoane lale, ilia da A: iai ea eso dabe la: idi (A: iai amola Bedele dogoa) amoga wamoaligi.
13 So the army took up their positions—the main army to the north of the town, and the ambush to the west. Joshua went that night to the valley.
Dadi gagui da A: iai moilai bai bagadega doagala: musa: esalu. Bisili ha wa: i fisu esalebe dunu da gano la: idi dialu amola eno dunu da eso dabe la: ididili wamoaligili esalu. Yosiua da amo gasia umiga esalu.
14 As soon as the king of Ai saw the situation, he and all his men rushed out early in the morning to attack the Israelites where they had before, at a place overlooking the Jordan valley. He didn't know about the ambush waiting on the other side of the town.
A: iai hina bagade dunu da Yosiua ea dunu ba: beba: le, hedolowane hamoi. E amola ea dunu huluane da Yodane umiga gadili asili, ilia da musa: sogebi Isala: ili dunuma gegei amoga bu gegemusa: dawa: i galu. Be Isala: ili dunu da ea baligiga doagala: musa: esalu, amo e da hame dawa: i galu.
15 Joshua and the Israelites allowed themselves to be driven back, and ran away in the direction of the wilderness.
Yosiua amola ea dunu da ogogole A: iai dunuma hobeamusa: , hafoga: i sogega hehenai.
16 All the men of the town were called out to chase after them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn father from the town.
A: iai hina bagade da ea dunu huludafa Yosiua ea dunu sefasimusa: masa: ne sia: i. Ilia da hehenane, ilia moilai bai bagade da baligidu beba: loba da sedagawane ba: i.
17 There wasn't a man left in Ai and Bethel who didn't go out to chase the Israelites. They left the town wide open as they pursued the Israelites.
A: iai dunu huluanedafa da Isala: ili dunu sefasi. A: iai moilai bai bagade logo da doasi dagoi amola gaga: su dunu hamedafa ba: i.
18 Then the Lord told Joshua, “Hold up the spear in your hand and point it at Ai, because I'm giving it to you.” So Joshua held up the spear in his hand and pointed it at the town.
Amalalu, Hina Gode da Yosiuama amane sia: i, “Dia goge agei amo A: iai moilai bai bagadega sogiagama. Na da amo moilai bai bagade dima imunu.” Yosiua da amo sia: i defele hamoi.
19 As soon as they saw this signal the men lying in ambush got up and rushed into the town. They captured it, and quickly set it on fire.
E da ea lobo ligia gadole, Isala: ili dunu da ilia wamoaligisu hedolo fisili, moilai bai bagadega hehenane, lai dagoi. Ilia da hedolowane A: iai moilai bai bagade ulagimusa: lalu didi.
20 When the men of Ai looked back they saw the smoke rising up into the sky from the town. They had nowhere to run to, because the Israelites who had been running away towards the wilderness now turned on their pursuers.
A: iai dunu da beba: loba, lalu mobi heda: lebe muagado doaga: i amo ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da hafoga: i sogega hehenai amo da sinidigili ilima doagala: musa: mabeba: le, ilia da hobeamu logo hame ba: i.
21 For when Joshua and the Israelites saw that the ambush group had captured the town, and that smoke was rising from it, they turned around and attacked the men of Ai.
Yosiua amola ea dunu da eno dunu da A: iai moilai bai bagade lale, laluga gobesi amo ba: beba: le, sinidigili, A:iai dunu fane legemusa: asi.
22 The men from the ambush also came from the town and attacked them, so they were caught on the middle, with the Israelites on both sides. The Israelites cut them down—not a single man survived or got away.
Isala: ili dunu A: iai moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu da amo gegesu fidimusa: misi. Amalalu, A:iai dunu da Isala: ili dunu amoma sisiga: i dagoi ba: i. A: iai dunu afae da hame hobea: i, huluane bogogia: i dagoi ba: i.
23 Only the king of Ai was captured alive, and he was brought before Joshua.
Be A: iai hina bagade da hame bogoi. Isala: ili dunu da amo hina bagade lale, afugili, Yosiuama hiouginana asi.
24 When the Israelites had finished killing the men of Ai who had chased them towards the wilderness—once they had all been cut down by the sword—the whole Israelite army returned to the town and killed everyone living there.
Isala: ili dunu da A: iai dunu huluane amo wadela: i soge amo ganodini medole legei dagoi. Amalalu, ilia da sinidigili, A:iai moilai bai bagade ganodini esalebe dunu, uda amola mano huluane medole legei.
25 Those who were killed that day numbered twelve thousand, men and women—all the inhabitants of Ai.
26 For Joshua had continued to hold up his spear until all the people of Ai had been destroyed.
Yosiua da ea goge agei amo A: iai moilai bai bagadega sogiagai mae fisili, dunu huluanedafa da medole legei dagoiba: le fawane yolesi. A: iai ganodini esalebe huluane da bogogia: i. Idi da dunu 12,000 agoane amola uda.
27 Only the livestock and plunder were taken from the town by the Israelites, as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
Hina Gode da Yosiuama sia: i defele, Isala: ili dunu ilisu da ohe fi amola liligi amo moilai bai bagade ganodini galu gagulaligimusa: lai.
28 So Joshua burned the town of Ai, making it permanently into a heap of ruins where no one lives to this very day.
Yosiua da A: iai moilai bai bagade laluga gobesi amola wadela: lesi dagoi. Wali eso, amo moilai bai bagade da amaiwane diala.
29 He killed the king of Ai and hung his body on a tree until evening. When the sun went down Joshua ordered the body taken down. They threw it down in front of the entrance to the town gate and piled a heap of rocks over it which is still there today.
E da A: iai hina bagade ifaga hegoa: nesili, ea da: i hodo daeya doaga: ma: ne yolesi. Eso dabe amoga, e da amo hina bagade ea da: i hodo fadegama: ne sia: i. Amo lale, ilia da moilai bai bagade holeiga gisalugala: i. Ilia da ea da: i hodo amo igi ligisisu bagadega dedeboi. Amo igi ligisisu da wali eso amogawi diala.
30 Then Joshua built an altar on Mount Ebal for the Lord, the God of Israel.
Amasea, Yosiua da Iba: le Goumia, Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Godema oloda hamoi.
31 He did what Moses, the servant of the Lord, had told the Israelites to do, as recorded in the book of the Law of Moses: an altar of uncut stones which no one has worked with iron tools. On the altar they made burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the Lord.
Amo oloda, e da Mousese, Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu amo ea olelei defele gagui. Mousese hamoma: ne sia: i defele, “oloda igiga hamoi be amo igi da gobihei o goahei amoga hame hedofai ba: mu.” Amo oloda da: iya, ilia da Hina Godema gobele salasu gobesi amola ilia da Hahawane Gilisili Olofole Iasu Godema i.
32 There in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua inscribed on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses.
Amogawi, Isala: ili dunu huluane ba: lalu, Yosiua da sema amo Mousese da dedei, amo igi gasui enoga bu dedei.
33 All the Israelites, the elders, the officers, and the judges stood in two groups facing each other with the priests, the Levites, and the Ark of the Lord's Agreement between them. (Included were the foreigners as well as the native born.) Half of them stood in front of Mount Gerizim, and half in front of Mount Ebal, just as Moses had ordered, for the blessing of the people this first time.
Isala: ili dunu, ilia hina dunu, ouligisu dunu, ilia fofada: su dunu amola ilia gilisisu ganodini esalebe ga fi dunu da Hina Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili la: ididili amola la: ididili lelu. Ilia da gobele salasu dunu amo da Gode Ea Gousa: su Sema Gagili gagui, amo ilia odagia ba: sa lelu. Isala: ili dunu dogoa mogili, la: idi da Gelesime Goumi ilia baligiga ba: i, la: idi da Iba: le Goumi ilia baligiga ba: i. Ilia da Gode Ea hahawane dogolegele fidisu lama: ne, Hina Gode Ea hawa: hamosu dunu Mousese da ili amo hou hamoma: ne musa: sia: i dagoi.
34 Then Joshua read out the whole Law—all the blessings and curses recorded in the book of the Law.
Amalalu, Yosiua da dunu huluane nabima: ne, Sema huluane idi dagoi. E da hahawane dogolegele fidisu sia: huluane amola gagabusu aligima: ne sia: huluane Sema buga ganodini dedei amo defele idi.
35 Joshua read out every word of Moses' instruction to the whole Israelite assembly, including the women, the children, and the foreigners who lived among them.
Yosiua da Mousese ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo huluanedafa dunu gilisisu (amo gilisisu ganodini, dunu, uda, mano amola ga fi dunu huluane esalebe ba: i) ilima idi dagoi.
